Proclamation Goods aspires to help us all enjoy simpler, more intentional lives with beautifully functional things in the kitchen that spark joy, reflect our values, and help create new memories. That’s why the brand only sells two extremely high-quality cookware pieces that prioritize the health and safety of its customers and the planet.

The pans are crafted to last forever using responsibly sourced, time-tested, non-toxic materials produced by a family-owned cookware manufacturer in Wisconsin. They can be used in the oven or on the stovetop up to 500℉. To help keep your body and the environment healthy, these pans are free of coatings. Instead, they use high-quality, naturally low-stick materials. Still, you’ll need to use a bit of oil or butter to keep things moving. They’re super lightweight, and the aluminum core makes for even heat with no hot spots.

Why everything you think you know about IPAs might be wrong
Not all IPAs are bitter, pine-bombs
IPA

Take a moment to imagine an IPA. What do you see? What does the beer that you envision taste like? If you immediately think about a golden or yellow, reasonably clear beer with citrus, pine, and a potentially aggressive level of bitterness, you’re painting this complex beer style into a tiny corner.

The IPA you’re describing fits into the India Pale Ale box. But, in my career of writing about beer, I’ve learned that the style is much more than this simplified definition. That description is the iconic and popular West Coast IPA. And I can understand why they are many drinkers go to IPA styles. It’s what many non-IPA drinkers think of the beer style. But this isn’t the only IPA style. And the others vary greatly in appearance, aroma, and overall flavor.

Tequila is the spirit of the summer—these cocktails prove it
Learn about the best tequila-based cocktails for the warmer months
Paloma cocktail

In the pantheon of warm-weather spirits, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of tequila. Sure, gin adds a floral flourish to mixed drinks on hot, humid days, and vodka is a nice, neutral backbone for sunny day cocktails, but nothing beats the agave sweetness of a well-made tequila when it’s mixed into a balanced, flavorful summer cocktail.

In my decades of writing about alcohol, I’ve imbibed my fair share of blanco, reposado, and añejo tequila. I’ve enjoyed it in shots with lime and salt, neat and on the rocks, and mixed into a variety of cocktails. Over the years, I’ve learned that no hot summer day is complete without a layered, complex tequila-based mixed drink.

Rediscover the bourbon smash, summer’s ultimate refreshing whiskey cocktail
It's time to learn all about the Bourbon Smash
Whiskey Smash

When it comes to summer cocktails, many drinkers tend to put down whiskey in favor of vodka, gin, tequila, and rum. That's a shame. There are countless whiskey-based cocktails ideally suited for warm weather, from the classic Whiskey Highball to the Mint Julep and the refreshing, flavorful Bourbon Smash.

Also known as the Whiskey Smash (if you choose to use a whiskey other than bourbon), this popular warm-weather whiskey drink has been around in some form or another since the mid-to-late 1800s.
